Generasian

Generasian is the fourth extended play by South Korean singer Lim Kim. Released on October 15, 2019 by Universal Music Korea and Lim Company, the extended play is Kim's first independent release since Simple Mind (2015), and subsequently her first since she left Mystic Entertainment in 2016. A dominant electronica record with worldbeat incorporation, Generasian finds Kim "exploring and centering" her identity as an Asian woman, further growing away from her previous musical direction.[2] Preceded by a non-album single "SAL-KI" on May 24, 2019, the extended play spawned two singles, namely "Yellow" on October 15, and "Mong" on February 28, 2020.[3]
